The only Republican presidential candidate who stands a chance at winning the November, 2008 U.S. Presidential Election is Ron Paul.
Most Republican congress criters have alienated themselves by their voting record. The Democratic Party presidential candidate is most likely to win the final election, unless enough Democratic Party supporters vote in the primaries for Ron Paul. Without Ron Paul on the presidential agenda in November, 2008, whoever the Democratic contender is will certainly win and we will live under an even more socialistic regime for God knows how long. DEMOCRATS FOR RON PAUL we need you!

People say that Democrats and Republicans are the same, but I believe they stress different things. Democrats want big government for their social ambitions, Republicans want big government for the sake of security. Unequal in terms of means, but equal in terms of outcome and equally bad in terms of preserving our constitution and republic.

Here is the story of Americans denied habeus corpus in Iraq. Unlike Guilianni, who laghed at Paul in the debate when he said “I will never abuse habeus corpus,” this American victim of the secret prisons knows our rights are important.

Ron Paul is still out of the loop. Individuals have to get Ron Paul on the Ballot first. Since the GOP hates him this will take some doing.
Nothing good comes easy.

I don’t think that Ron Paul has much of a chance of being the GOP presidential candidate…they have never supported him and are not about to start now, however,what if he changes parties now. Personally I could care less about the Republican or Democratic parties, they are one and the same in their ideology. Ron Paul is our last hope for this country to return to it’s roots. He will begain the process of ridding ourselves of the cancer that has been running our federal bureaucracy since 1913 ! God bless Ron Paul !!

I thought for a long time that the only way to make Dr. Paul’s candidacy work is for a lot of us to register as Republicans and vote for him in our state primaries. That way, no matter who gets the Democratic nomination, the Republicans are forced to clean up their act and shove the neo-cons over the side. Regardless, this election may well be a major turning point. Dr. Paul is changing the conversation. Good.

As I posted on the Reason blog, there are two reasons that masses of Democrats would support paul, and neither exists in this election. Those reasons are:
1) Not having a candidate as anti-war as Paul (most Dems don’t care about being anti-war, just anti-Iraq, and besides, there’s Kucinich and Gravel)
2) Not having a chance to win (also not the case, they’ve almost got in the bag short of a miracly in Iraq)

I’m a Democrat and Green Party leaner, and I love what Ron Paul has to say. Non-interventionist and sound monetary policy are two things that our country needs now more than ever. I hope the Republicans don’t freeze him out in the coming debates when they whittle the field down.

Although judging by Ron Paul’s popularity on the Internet, simply forcing people to do all their political action on the Internet and encouraging one’s friends to ONLY get political information through the Internet (i.e. deliberately forcing cultural norms to change) may have a profound transformative effect on politics. Why is Ron Paul so popular online, and not on television? It’s the medium of course: television isn’t compatible with thought-out arguments, while the Internet is.

I’m not sure who will get power, but I doubt it would be the same as the “Big Media” who seem to maintain power due to the high cost of television stations. It’s probably the more honest politicians who will gain power if politics is done through the Internet, so this may be worth pursuing.

I’d like to see a politician with the campaign motto, “We’re only on the Internet!”

Libertarianism alone is kind of implausible for the public because there are no positive examples of libertarian cities or states existing, and the American people are nothing if not pragmatic. But candidates who don’t lie and take hard stances on anti-federalism, cutting taxes, and non-interventionism I think may make headway if America ever figures out it’s been duped by some nutcase theory of “expanding democracy abroad” (Americans being pragmatic should ask when exactly this has succeeded) and that even at home we’re increasingly not in charge of our own politics. Having candidates who follow the Enlightenment tradition of actually providing reasons for their actions instead of emotions might also have some appeal to Americans. But maybe this is just wishful thinking. I don’t think anything will change with the current centralized-power-outside-politics-running-politics and sham debate system unless some kind of fiasco or problem is exposed which throws dirt on both of the major parties and the media.

I wish that Paul was 4 years younger. If a Democrat is elected in 2008, then by the time their 4 years is up, I think the populace will realize that they aren’t that much different from the Neo-Conservative big government Republicans.

Once people finally come to that realization, and understand that Democrats are only against the War in Iraq, not nation-building, and not democratization by force, surely the Freedom Message will resound even more so.

We will need some more to run, and get in Congress. We need more Paul’s, we need more in the Liberty Caucus. I think the time is very ripe for this Party to grow. By this Party, I mean something like the Libertarian Party.
